Trixie was at the library in Canterlot, a spell book open on the table in front of her. She flared her horn with magic.

Come on. Come on. Come on.” She said to herself. This was her several dozenth try to make the spell work.

There was a flash of light, and then she beamed in delight at the sight before her.  A magical pink bubble had appeared around her. She had successfully cast a shield barrier spell.

She ended the spell and then levitated a quill over to a piece of paper on the table and put a checkmark next to barrier spell written on it. In addition to that, ever since she had gotten permission to study magic in the Canterlot library, she had also accomplished successfully casting the spell that allowed a non-pegasus pony to walk on clouds, levitated objects heavier than she ever had before, and had successfully teleported an apple several inches.

After she felt she had practiced enough for the mean time, Trixie went back to her hotel room.

After she walked through the door, she put some of her earnings from her most recent show into the jar on her dresser again. The jar was almost full. She knew it was about time. She had performed all the shows she had managed to get in Canterlot, and she hoped by now her new reputation had managed to reach beyond the city and out to other places in Equestria. She was ready to leave Canterlot and begin traveling around Equestria to put on shows. She was going to travel around Equestria, make amends at other towns, and make a name for herself again as a magician.

But she realized this meant that she would have to leave Blueblood. She sighed. In the back of her mind, she had known this day would come, but she hadn’t wanted to think about it. For the first time in her life she was torn. She wanted to go do her shows, but she also wanted to be with Blueblood.

She wondered if Blueblood had also been wondering about this. Would this be the end of their relationship? She didn’t want it to be.

Trixie knew she would have to tell Blueblood eventually, so she reasoned she might as well get it over with now. Reluctantly, she left her hotel room and went over to Blueblood’s house.

.....................................

Several minutes later, she was knocking on the front doors of the Blueblood mansion. After a few moments, it opened up, revealing the elderly butler.

“Hello, Miss Trixie,” he said. “I’ll tell his lordship that you’re here. Please come in.”

Trixie stepped into the parlor.

“Hello, Trixie!”

Trixie looked up too see Blueblood trotting down the staircase to meet her.

Trixie smiled up at him. “Hello, Blueblood.”

They walked up to each other and kissed.

Trixie looked up at him. “Blueblood,” she said, her voice now serious.

Blueblood became worried by her tone. “Yes?”

She took a deep breath. “I’ve made enough money in Canterlot now. I’ve decided to leave the city and start putting on shows around Equestria again.”

Blueblood stares at her.

“Lets talk somewhere more comfortable,” said Trixie.

Blueblood nodded. They went into the living room and sat down on the sofa. Trixie explained everything to him. Blueblood had known this moment would come, but he hadn’t wanted to think about it.

“When are you planning on leaving?” asked Blueblood.

“Tomorrow morning,” Trixie said. “I want to get started as soon as I can.”

Blueblood nodded. That meant they only had one day left that they could spend with each other.

“I don’t want you to leave,” he said honestly.

“I know,” said Trixie. “But this is something I have to do. I want to be the best I can be.”

Blueblood was quiet for a few moments, but then he gave her a small smile. “I know,” he said. “And I want you to be too.”

They hugged each other.

“I’ll miss you,” said Blueblood.

“I’ll miss you too,” said Trixie. “I’ll write to you, and I’ll try to come back to Canterlot as soon as I can.”

“You’d better,” said Blueblood with a grin. “I don’t know what I’ll do without you here.”

Trixie giggled and nuzzled up against him. Blueblood wrapped his forehooves around her and they lay there on the cushions together, enjoying each other' company.

“Lets make this last day count,” he said.

“I like the sound of that,” she said.

Blueblood canceled and rescheduled all of his appointments for that day and he and Trixie spent the rest of the day with each other. They went out on the town. They went out and walked around Canterlot. They went to dinner. And they sat in the park and watched the sun set, Trixie’s head resting against Blueblood’s shoulder as they watched. Blueblood then waked Trixie home, neither of them wanting the day to end.

.....................................

The next morning, Trixie and Blueblood were standing at the gates of the city’s exit. Trixie had her belongings and show equipment loaded up into a cart that Blueblood was helping her hitch onto herself with magic.

She turned to face Blueblood. “So… I guess this is it,” she said.

Blueblood finished attaching the cart to her and nodded. “Yeah.”

“I’m really gonna miss you,” she said.

“I’m going to miss you too. But Trixie, I hope you achieve everything you’re trying to achieve.”

“Thanks,” she said. She wrapped her hooves around him and they embraced each other. “I love you.”

“I love you too,” said Blueblood.

They kissed each other and then released each other from the embrace. After a moment, Trixie turned away and began trotting out of the city.

“Goodbye!” she called back to him.

“Goodbye!” Blueblood shouted. “Until we meet again!”

Trixie grinned. “I’ll be looking forward to it!”

Blueblood watched Trixie trot away from Canterlot. He eventually turned and began making his way back home. He was sad that Trixie was gone, but he knew she wouldn’t be gone forever. He knew she would be back someday, and with that thought, he felt happy.

Meanwhile, Trixie’s thoughts were similar as she trotted away from Canterlot. She was excited to begin making a better name for herself around Equestria. She would miss Blueblood, but she knew she would eventually return to Canterlot to be with him again.

However, she knew she still had one more place she wanted to stop first before she got on her way.

.....................................

On the Pie family rock farm, Pinkie Pie’s father(I don’t know his name) was picking at a rock with a pick in his mouth. Just then he spotted Trixie trotting towards his farm with a cart harnessed to her. He looked up at her as she approached him and walked over to her.

“Trixie?” said the old Earth Pony stallion. “What are you doing back here? Aren’t you supposed to be living your big fancy life as a magician?”

Trixie resisted the urge to get mad at the grumpy old stallion. “I came by because I wanted to thank you.”

This took Pinkie’s father by surprise.

Trixie continued. “You gave me a job when nopony else would. I know I was never very appreciative before, but thank you. You really helped me out when I needed it.”

Pinkie’s father still looked shocked, but then he smiled. “You’re welcome. And thank you for all the help you gave me. You really helped me with my work with that amazing magic of yours.”

Trixie grinned, happy at the compliment.

“You’re welcome,” said Trixie. “Well… goodbye.” Trixie turned and began to head off.

“Goodbye,” said the old stallion. “And good luck.”

Trixie trotted off, ready to begin her journey around Equestria.
